This podcast episode delves into the escalating conflict between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, sparked by the Don't Say Gay Law. Disney's opposition to the law prompted DeSantis to retaliate by proposing the elimination of Reedy Creek, Disney's special tax district. In response, Disney secured zoning and infrastructure approvals before the takeover of a new board. The situation escalated with the lawsuit filed by Disney, challenging the constitutionality of the laws. The case has raised questions about DeSantis's strategy and Republican Party's pro-business reputation. This episode highlights the potential consequences for officials who aggressively target companies and the need for balance in pursuing corporate accountability.
